Italian chicken pasta features Creamy Chicken Pasta in White Wine Parmesan Cheese Sauce to give you an exciting dinner. This simple recipe is packed with so much flavor that your family will gobble it right up!

If you’re looking for an easy, flavor-filled recipe to enjoy with the adults in the house, then this Italian chicken pasta is for you. This recipe is jam-packed with flavor from garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning, while the parmesan cheese and whipping cream add lots of creaminess to this recipe. To top it off, white wine adds a distinct flavor that is characteristic of many Italian recipes.

This recipe has many things going for it. It’s made in a single pot, is really easy to prepare and takes little time to come together. This is an excellent restaurant-style dish to treat your friends and family to for dinner.

You can use any pasta in this recipe. I personally prefer spaghetti, but linguine is always a popular option to make an Italian Chicken pasta tasty! You could also use whole grain or whole wheat pasta for a healthier meal!

You could make this pasta ahead if you don’t plan to serve it immediately. In fact, the flavors will develop even more as it sits! However, keep in mind that the pasta will absorb a lot of the sauce. As a workaround, you can prepare the sauce ahead, and then make the pasta fresh when it’s time to serve.

Be sure to keep this recipe away from children, or make non-alcoholic children-safe variations.

Tips

When cooking with wine, never use “cooking wine”. Cooking with a regular drinking wine will always give you a better tasting dish because the quality is much higher. Chardonnay, Riesling or Pinot Grigio are all great choices to cook with wine.

For a non-alcoholic variant of this dish, you can substitute the white wine with lemon juice, white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar.
